The Pilgrim's Bounty event is the World of Warcraft counterpart of
Thanksgiving. As a consequence, it always happens in November, around the
time of Thanksgiving.

Even though the event lasts a whole week, it only contains a handful
of achievements to complete. For many players, the main incentive for
participating is the very easy and very cheap Cooking skill-up (from 1 to 430)
that the event offers.

A number of achievements will automatically be obtained while doing these
tasks. For the remaining achievements, we explain how you should proceed.

1.1. Eligibility

Most of the event can be completed by characters of any level, provided that they
have a high enough cooking skill (280). This is usually not a problem since the event
enables you to easily increase your cooking skill from 1 to 430.

One of the achievements requires players to venture in an Outland dungeon (on
normal difficulty), something that requires level 55.

1.2. Food

The event revolves around 5 types of food. As we keep mentioning them
during the guide, we felt best to list them at the beginning of the guide:

1.4. Timeline

The event lasts for a week, but most achievements can be completed on
the first day. Only Turkey Lurkey requires you to play for a second and a
third day (to get the items you need to complete it).

For 2014, the event will start on the 24th of November and will end on the 1st
of December.

1.5. Rewards

The Pilgrim's Bounty only has one vanity pet and a few achievements to rewards
players participating in it. There is also a reputation buff that some players will
be interested in.

1.5.1. Buff

The Spirit of Sharing is obtained by interacting with Bountiful Tables
(see the related section of the guide). The reputation buff that it gives will
interest players who are keen on grinding reputation.

2. Do Not Forget Your Chef's Hat

This event involves a lot of cooking, so if you have obtained
a Chef's Hat (sold in Dalaran for 100 Dalaran Cooking Awards), do not forget
to use it!

3. Introductory Quests

Pilgrim's Bounty (Alliance/Horde) is given by commoners in capital cities and smaller towns. It
takes you to the main Pilgrim's Bounty area for your faction: Stormwind for Alliance players
and Undercity for Horde players.

After completing these two quests, you are all set to enter the event.

4. The "Now We're Cookin'" Achievement

Obtaining the Now We're Cookin' achievement requires a cooking skill of at least 280.
First of all, you will need to purchase a Bountiful Cookbook (Alliance/Horde) from
Wilmina Holbeck just outside of Stormwind (Alliance) or
Dalni Tallgrass just outside of Orgrimmar (Horde). This cookbook
contains the 5 recipes that you will need to learn to complete
the achievement:

All of these recipes count for the Chef de Cuisine achievement (and
all the other lesser achievements of the same kind).

Once you have learned all the recipes, you need to cook them. All of
these recipes, save one, have one ingredient that can only be bought
in a specific capital city. Therefore, you will need to visit three of
your capital cities to get this achievement. At the same time, you can also
do the quest chain started by Spice Bread Stuffing (Alliance / Horde).

4.1. Leveling Cooking Skill Up To 430

You can use the cooking recipes from the Now We're Cookin' achievement
to easily level up a character's cooking skill up to 430, as the
ingredients can be bought without limit from the vendors and at a very
low cost.

5.2.3. Turkey Lurkey

To complete Turkey Lurkey, you need to use the
Turkey Shooter from the daily quest on 10 rogues, each of a different
race. Note that the Turkey Shooter only has one use, so you will need 10
of them to complete the achievement.

Finding rogues of your faction should not be problematic. For rogues of
the opposing faction, we advise you to try the battlegrounds, the opposing
faction capital in Pandaria, the daily quest locations for the various
Mists of Pandaria factions, and the Timeless Isle.

Before explaining how to get the achievements, it is important that we
detail how these tables work.

6.1. How Does It Work?

Bountiful Tables are made for you to sit at them. To this end,
each table is equipped with 5 chairs on which you can sit down,
each of them allowing you to interact with a different kind of
Pilgrim's Bounty food:

When you sit on a chair, you get a new action bar that
enables you to do the following:

Button 1 will pass around a bit of food associated to your chair
(Pumpkin Pie on The Pie Chair, for example):

If you are targeting an empty chair, then you will deposit food
in the plate in front of this chair.

If you are targeting a player sitting right next to you, then you
will deposit food in their plate.

If you are targeting a player sitting on the opposite side of the
table or sitting at another table, then you will throw food at their face.

Buttons 2 to 6 will make you eat a kind of food, if someone
from a different chair had put some on your plate (by using their Button
1 and targeting your plate) or if you are sitting at the food's chair.

Button 2: Slow-roasted Turkey;

Button 3: Cranberry Chutney;

Button 4: Spice Bread Stuffing;

Button 5: Candied Sweet Potato;

Button 6: Pumpkin Pie.

6.2. Achievements

6.2.1. "FOOD FIGHT!"

Find a Bountiful Table with at least one other player sitting at it. Sit down
at this table on the opposite side from this player.
Target this player (or the chair they are sitting on), and pass
them food (press the Button 1) repeatedly until you get the "FOOD FIGHT!"
achievement (only a handful of attempts are usually necessary).

6.2.2. Sharing is Caring

To complete Sharing is Caring, you need to pass each
of the 5 kinds of food that you can find at a Bountiful Table. The easy
way to do it is to find an empty table and sit down on each of the
5 chairs, each time passing the food associated with the chair.

6.2.3. Pilgrim's Paunch

To complete the Pilgrim's Paunch achievement, you need to
eat the 5 kinds of food at a Bountiful Table, 5 times (this give the
The Spirit of Sharing buff), outside each of the
capital cities of your faction.

The easy way to do it is to sit down on every chair at an empty
Bountiful Table, every time passing the food to the plate in front
of the 5th chair on which you will sit. When you sit down on the last chair,
you can eat all the food that you have been passing 5 times. This also
enables you to complete Sharing is Caring, if you pass the
food from the 5th chair.

In most cities, completing the objective will be made easier by the fact that
the Pilgrim's Bounty area is outside the city. In Darnassus, however,
the event area is inside the city, at the Warrior's
Terrace.

7. The Last Achievement: The Turkinator

Completing the The Turkinator requires you to kill 40 Wild Turkey
while never allowing 30 seconds to elapse between two successive
kills. Basically, each time you kill a turkey, you get a new stack of
a 30-second buff. If you allow the buff to drop, you have to start over.
If you reach 40 stacks, you earn the achievement.

We do not advise you to attempt this achievement during peak hours,
as you will struggle to find Wild Turkey in Elwynn Forest or Tirisfal
Glades (the only places where they spawn).

Go for the achievement early in the morning or late at night. Additionally,
if your server has a very low population for the opposing faction, you can go
to their area to hunt for the turkeys. If you are Alliance, try your luck in
Tirisfal Glades. If you are Horde, try your luck in Elwynn Forest. The
Venomweb Vale in Tirisfal Glades is perfect for the achievement,
according to one of our readers.

A final piece of advice is to use a macro along the lines of:

/tar Wild Turkey

/cast Ice Lance

Replace Ice Lance by whatever instant-cast ranged ability you want to
use to kill the turkeys.

Hunters and Druids can track these beasts by using Track Beasts, while other classes
can do so by eating Tracker Snacks.

8. Conclusion

By the time you reach this conclusion, you should have earned
all the possible achievements and the Turkey Cage reward that this
event has to offer. We hope that you found the guide satisfactory and if
you have any remarks, we would be glad if you could leave them as a comment
below.
